[b42] slowdown puzzle

[jenx]

I play the game regularly on my laptop. Then today, for no reason, the game takes forever to load after starting a new character. What would cause such a change? I haven't loaded any new software. Any clues? I've turned all the fancy graphics off and still it is SLOW.

not sure if this helps. btw, the laptop is brand new, quad core intel, so no problems there:

Added an addon ? tweaked tome code ?

[jenx]

Yes, I didn't realise it causes such slowdowns

Activating anything after 3 add-ons slows loading down significantly for me. It doesn't seem to matter which three. Large, small, major, minor, three seems to be the magic number. So I can play a wight magebow with extra exotic weapons, but won't be able to wander an adventurer-free wilderness at that point unless I want to slow down the loading.
